Some more random haikus for January 2014

When

Remember way we
Sat still under kissing tree
Could we again now

2. Family

Blood and skin belong
Together we forever
Blue sky, sea floor us

3. Presence

Sometimes I think I
Need something I don't really
Have to posses now

4. She

Wrinkled olive skin
Her hair tied in gray up bun
Cigarette stained teeth

5. Moon

Guide me o gentle
Light above my head this eve
Dance me now again

6. Valerie

How woman you are
How mighty your voice and love
Strong and wise you are

7. Gratitude

I am thankful for
Balance, peace, harmony and
Joy beyond measure

8. Friday

California sun
Easy drive with family
Memories like this

9. Self portrait

Of a woman this
Raw open sewn up crazy
Unconsciously free

10. Starting over

Stare out onto sea
Let go heartbreak from before
Head and hands to sky

11. V Kali

Skin so ocean you
Feel like rent paid softly up
My back so comfort

12. Uraeus

I worry sometimes
Afraid of boogiemen I
Have to kill myself

13. Remember

I sat crossed legged on
Your bed waiting for you to
Give your heart to me

14. Cafe

You sat across from
Me and told me to my face
That you would never

15. Jaha

O the places I
Have stretched my forgiveness for
Me to love you so

16. Writers block

Words always begging
Air to breath outside my head
Who am I to deny them

Gratitude

I give thanks for this day
For my eyes opening wide
My feet
My back
My health and strength
I give thanks for my son
For my family and friends

These chirping birds now
Remind me how easy life

Deja: You know him. He is the round guy.

Me: Why do you have to body shame him by calling him round?

Deja: But I didn't body shame. I just called him round. Round is a beautiful shape.

Up early morning
On grass under sky, tree, blue
This is how God, gods

Dear friend

I keep waiting your response
My patting feet and nervous heart
Endemic of the valley we know

I give thanks for the children in my life
For my family
My son

For love
For peace
I give thanks for praise
For my community of artists
I give thanks for good food and good conversations tonight
I give thanks for laughter and forgiveness
I give thanks for the journey

Been through valley deep before
